ASUS RX Vega 64 Cards Announced; Coming Soon

Over the past few weeks, the gaming world has only one word that rang over and over again – Vega. It’s something that everyone’s been anticipating for weeks to come, and now it’s finally here. Vega is an entirely new architecture, and here ASUS is announcing a total of 4 different cards – including the ASUS RX Vega 64 graphics card – including the Strix variant.

First off, let’s talk about the new Strix RX Vega 64. It has a few new features that only ASUS has to offer:

Customized gaming: ASUS Aura Sync lighting for system personalization and VR‑friendly design with two HDMI ports

As Vega cards are beefy, ASUS implemented their newly-developed MaxContact technology for flatter surface and more contact area between its copper heat-spreader and the GPU die itself to maximize heat transfer. Of course, it does have the three patented wing-blade 0dB fans for the literally dead silent PC too.

Other than the Strix RX Vega 64, ASUS is also bringing in the non-Strix versions of RX Vega 64 – namely the water-cooled edition and the air-cooler edition, which will be available starting mid-August.
